Make Your Buildings more Energy efficient with the power of AI

about iBOS

iBOS is an AI powered application which makes your building energy usage smarter so you can save on costs and lower greenhouse gas emissions.

iBOS’s AI connects to both the building automation system (BAS) data, and weather satellite data.

It analyzes building data, real time weather data, and forecasted data 5 days out.

Based on its analysis, it autonomously makes proactive adjustments every couple of minutes to optimize the building’s BAS.

iBOS optimizes the BAS in real time for current conditions, and for upcoming weather patterns.

iBOS reduces HVAC energy consumption up to 40%.

  • "Implementing AI into Minto’s BAS seemed like a leap at first, but the outcomes have alleviated any doubt."

    Joanna Jackson, Director of Sustainability & Innovation, Minto Group

  • "This project has delivered the greatest ROI in energy savings and was one of the easiest to implement.”

    Pat Poirier, Director, Operational Sustainability, Crombie REIT

  • "To incorporate AI that automatically optimizes our HVAC performance is very exciting and we’re thrilled to be at the forefront of this solution in our industry."

    Jeff Ransome, Halifax Marriott Harbourfront, General Manager

How ibos Works

iBOS continually adjusts your BAS system, reducing HVAC energy expenditure and energy costs.

It takes advantage of your building’s ability to absorb, store, and release heat. iBOS simultaneously analyzes the interaction between:

  • Your building’s thermal mass (the rate at which it stores and releases heat)

  • Current and future weather data

  • How changes in BAS setpoints affect energy consumption

Real time optimizations: iBOS's AI autonomously adjusts for all these factors to optimize your BAS system’s setpoints every two minutes. It maximizes building efficiency for existing conditions.

Predictive optimization: Simultaneously, it uses weather model data to predictively optimize the building for upcoming weather patterns.

As a result, you can achieve the comfort levels you need while using as little energy as possible.

Building Energy Efficiency with iBOS

All buildings possess thermal mass, which is their capacity to store and gradually release thermal energy (heat). This inherent characteristic causes a building's internal temperature to change slowly.

How iBOS Leverages Thermal Mass

The iBOS system capitalizes on a building's thermal mass, treating the structure as a thermal battery. It does this through the following steps:

  • Identifies the Building's Balance Temperature: iBOS determines the specific temperature at which the building is thermally balanced.

  • Analyzes Key Data: It continuously monitors and analyzes several crucial data streams:

    • Current weather conditions.

    • Weather forecast data extending out next five days.

    • Data from the Building Automation System.

  • Makes Continuous Adjustments to BAS: This data is analyzed every two minutes. Based on the analysis, iBOS makes adjustments to setpoints.

  • Predictive Optimization: iBOS adjusts setpoints for peak efficiency for current weather conditions and predictively optimizes them for future conditions.

FAQs

Does iBOS replace my building management system?

No. iBOS works with your existing BAS system. iBOS sits next to the BAS acting as its brain. iBOS make adjustments to the original BAS’s setpoints to reduce energy consumption.

Does its operation affect occupant comfort?

No, it actually improves tenant comfort.

Why is its installation so easy?

iBOS is a software application which is easy to install and integrate with your BMS system, and requires relatively few installed components.

What types of buildings can it help?

iBOS can improve the efficiency of may building types. It improves the performance of the following building types: office, indoor malls, multifamily, hospitality, hotels, senior living, healthcare, lab, life science, and educational buildings.

How quickly will i see savings?

Savings begin immediately as soon as iBOS has been switched on.
